While the Extended Version of Spartacus: Blood & Sand Season 1 seem kind of false, some of the differences in the prequel season Gods of the Arena are a real improvement, sometimes the differences just lead to another experience. And the Extended Versions really press any buttons: there are extended plot scenes, an optimized cut and new footage, especially in the sex and nudity scenes. As violent and revealing the series was, there are some scenes that make the intention to not scare the audience away. As a result of that, alterations of any kind were made.
On Blu-ray, the uncensored and uncut version has been released. For some reason, the cover of the UK Blu-ray doesn't say the UK Version contains the Extended Version as well. One won't notice until the disc is in the player. In total, 5 of 6 episodes have been altered. Only episode 2 has remained unchanged. 3:56

Batiatus comes to take Oenomaus with him, but he also indicates that he doesn't want to sell him. Something different is planned. 178s 27:08 The sex scene of Lucretia and Crixus is repeatedly cut in into the scene when Tullius is being murdered. Extended: 23s | TV: 12s
